MoO sub 3 catalysts promoted by MnMoO sub 4 I. Synthesis, characterization, and selectivity in oxidation of 1-butene and 1,3-butadiene to maleic anhydride

Journal Article · · Journal of Catalysis; (USA)
MoO{sub 3} catalysts impregnated with MnMoO{sub 4} are active for the selective oxidation of C{sub 4} hydrocarbons to maleic anhydride. Presence of MnMoO{sub 4} creates a significant promoter effect in catalytic behavior of MoO{sub 3}. The pure phases and the impregnated catalysts have been characterized during various stages of their life history using characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction, laser Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and BET surface area measurements, and their catalytic activity and selectivity in selective oxidation of 1-butene and 1,3-butadiene to maleic anhydride have been studied.
